I completed a thesis-based masters degree at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s, and I count those two years as some of the best of my life.

Academically, it was a challenge, but immensely rewarding. The core graduate courses were rich with content and learning opportunities; my understanding of algebra went from almost nothing to a solid foundation in the crucible that was Algebra 1, and the differential geometry course offered by the department was a beautiful introduction to the subject. When I started doing research I found that my supervisor was extremely generous with his time. This careful instruction helped hone my mathematical abilities to the point where I felt very well prepared to start my PhD.

Socially, my time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s was truly fun. Because the grad program is on the smaller side, it카지노 게임 컬렉션™s very easy to get to know people, and I made friends in the program that I am still in touch with today, almost 10 years later. The department had a vibrant social scene, with activities that included a summer softball team, Christmas parties, and an unsanctioned luau in the math department courtyard. The benefits of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s community extend beyond the math department as well - due to the proximity of Jeffrey Hall to the music building, and the wide availability of practise rooms in the latter, I was often able to sneak away from Jeffrey Hall while stuck on a math problem to go loosen up my neurons with some piano playing. That kind of experience is so much harder to find at a bigger school!

With all it has to offer to prospective students with regards to academic rigour and quality of life, I would strongly recommend the Department of Mathematics and Statistics to anyone!
